emmet VS Compass

Emmet is a content/code assist tool to write code faster and more efficiently. It comes standard with VS Code so there is no need for any plugin. The concept is simple: you start typing an Emmet abbreviation, press TAB or 'ENTER', and a full Emmet snippet for that abbreviation will come out.

Not equivalent, but arguably more useful for manual authoring: Emmet [0] was all the range a while back, and I still use it to write HTML. It comes naturally if you're used to writing CSS-like selectors, and mostly gets out of the way.

DSL-wise, I've rather enjoyed Clojure's Hiccup [1].

LiveCodes provides many of the commonly used developer tools. These include Monaco editor (that powers VS Code), Prettier, Emmet, Vim/Emacs modes, Babel, TypeScript, SCSS, Less, PostCSS, Jest and Testing Library, among others. All these tools run seamlessly in the browser without any installations or configurations. It feels like a very light-weight version of your own local development environment including the keyboard shortcuts, IntelliSense and code navigation features.

Emmet is a tool that allows you to quickly generate HTML and CSS code by using abbreviations and expanding them into full code.

One interesting plugin from that list is an amazing tool called Emmet, which helps you write HTML and CSS faster by using simple abbreviations that are then converted into code blocks. However, there is one minor drawback; by default, Emmet is not enabled for React in VS Code.

As you can see, emmet can help you avoid doing repetitive tasks. Please click here to find out more about emmet acronyms.

You might also consider adding snippets or Emmet support to your IDE. This will let you reuse existing templates that you use frequently so you don't have to waste time with the initial development.

pretty much gone, the beta site seems still to be alive http://beta.compass-style.org/reference/compass/css3/ and the github repo is still about https://github.com/Compass/compass/

SASS is a CSS preprocessor that is designed to be used as a standalone preprocessor, or as part of a framework called Compass. SASS for CSS is very similar to CSS, for creating CSS files that are more easily readable and maintainable than traditional CSS files. In the next chapper, we will learn how to use SASS to create a simple CSS file.

Soon after, Chris Epstein, the creator of Compass and co-creator of Sass, forked Brandon’s repository and asked for some help with the design. Being a big fan of Chris’s, Brandon jumped on the opportunity straight away. He pulled out the content, made the theme more generic, and named his creation Octopress.

I use a CLI tool to compile it as changes are made. I use http://compass-style.org/
